Hi everyone I have the following queries: • How do we know the region where each node in the production cluster is hosted ? • Would it be an issue if we dedicatedly use the least-used node for indexing ? • Is it on the roadmap to have one(or maybe two based on the requirements) nodes dedicated to indexing and not serving search requests ? If not , can we have it please :)

How do we know the region where each node in the production cluster is hosted ?

We don't expose this in the dashboard at the moment, but if you email support we can let you know. Also though, the locations behind the hostnames could change and get re-allocated. So best to use the SDN endpoint, which will always route to the closest healthy node.

Would it be an issue if we dedicatedly use the least-used node for indexing ?

No, but it doesn't make a difference, because writes sent to any of the nodes will be replicated to all the other nodes in the cluster in real-time and then each node will process the writes individually and append to it's own index. So all nodes will process writes.

Is it on the roadmap to have one(or maybe two based on the requirements) nodes dedicated to indexing and not serving search requests ? If not , can we have it please :)

Since the indices are in-memory, they have to be built on each node by definition, before searches can be served out from that node...
